Tonya was amazing! So knowledgeable, patient and kind:) Riccioli (now Bruno) is energetic, healthy and absolutely adorable.
Julie V.
Verified owner · Feb. 2025
Tonya was so responsive and knowledgeable about the breed.She stayed in touch with me and sent me updates regularly on our puppy. Tonya made the process of receiving our puppy an easy effortless process with her travel nanny. She was willing to work this us and our schedules. Good Dog made the process so easy, from the initial connection with Tonya to arranging pick up and paying securely. I'm so glad I found Tonya through Good Dog, and we couldn't be happier.
